Safety measures for your winter vacation
Dear guests,
health is an absolute priority in these challenging times. Just in time for the winter season, the state of Vorarlberg is developing a nationwide strategy for winter tourism - the so-called Winter Code V. This offers our guests a special level of security and, in addition to requirements for accommodation providers, includes comprehensive measures for mountain railways, ski schools, sports shops, public transport, etc.
This nationwide strategy is coordinated uniformly, it goes beyond the legal minimum and is based on the journey of our guests in the destination.
Unfortunately, hotels and restaurants in Austria must remain closed until the end of February. Skiing areas and gondolas are allowed to open for leisure purpose.
We are looking forward to welcoming you again very soon!
